Since Sia's breakthrough commerical hit 'Chandelier' in 2014, she has relied on the dancing of 13 year old Maddy Ziegler to be the star performer of her videos.
Ziegler dons the wig of Sia once again as she prances around and expresses the singer's music deftly through dance. Their first collaboration was the 'Chandelier' video which has amassed over 1 billion views on YouTube and brought serious attention to both parties. 'Chandelier' introduced Sia as a breakout star whilst Ziegler (then 11) came to global prominence. The tween star is a regular on the reality show Dance Moms but her talent has far surpassed the show thanks to the platform Sia has provided her with.
Known for her distinctive voice, Sia is also famous for her refusal to show her actual face in live performances and TV appearances. Her reasoning for her face-covering wig is so that she can attain a somewhat normal life. In this vein, Ziegler has become Sia's protégé. Her music videos put the spotlight on young Ziegler and these videos are always highly anticipated upon arrival.
'Cheap Thrills' is the latest single from Sia's 7th studio album This Is Acting. This is the fourth collaboration between the pair following 'Chandelier', 'Elastic Heart' and 'Big Girls Cry'. Long may this dream team last!
